The Divine Philosophy behind Illuminating Earthen Lamps

The Earthen Lamps are so special as they are handcrafted with wet clay. They are given a beautiful shape by hard-working artisans. These lamps are placed under the open sky in fresh air for drying and after that they are baked in fire.

So, there is a combination of water, earth, sky, air, and also fire. These ordinary looking earthen lamps therefore represent the five elements that are also part of a human body. When such a divine creation enters your home, it brings with it the blessings of Gods.

Further, when you put a cotton wick in these lamps, they represent our farmers toiling hard in agricultural fields and Ghee in them adds piousness of the Mother Cow.

So, this simple earthen lamp is actually representing the whole universe that you lit in your house on the occasion of Diwali.

Moreover, when you are lighting earthen lamps, actually you are supporting a humble potter of our country. This is how you are playing a role in nation-building. Hence, on Diwali you are inviting prosperity to your life and a potter is also prospering through you.

And this is the divine philosophy of lighting earthen lamps.

When you light such a lamp to invoke the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi, Her blessings arrive in your life in the form of happiness, prosperity, progress, health, and harmony.

So, this Diwali lit traditional earthen lamps, worship devotedly, and show your support to local artisans and potters.

The blessings of Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi will surely decorate your life magnificently and make you even more prosperous enabling you to live a life of your choice.
